F1 | Andretti: “Alonso couldn't be in a better situation than this for Indy”

All ready for the new experience of Fernando Alonso in Indy Car. Also Mario Andretti thinks it's the right time for the Spaniard: “He can't be in a better situation” for the debut of Indianapolis, commented.

The two-time world champion of F1 will arrive in Indy Car with the Andretti Autosport immediately on the track for orientation practice rookie before of Indy 500 Of this month. Andretti, who will also be part of the test commentary team with a live broadcast, thinks it could be a great opportunity for Alonso himself to do well with this new driving experience.

"It will be funny", said the 1978 world champion to Motorsport.com. “A guy like him should be able to do fast laps, he will be able to do a great job and he will walk away very happy, I'm sure,” he continued.

“The biggest difference will be with the other cars, we will have to see and understand how the other guys will behave behind the wheel. He has nothing to lose in F1 at the moment, and there can't be a better way to really experience this and see how it feels. I assure you that when the race comes he will be very prepared. Overall I think it's the best possible scenario, in my opinion,” he concluded.
